First off, which operating system are you running?

Nah; TeleDongle implements a complete standard 'CDC-ACM' USB driver,
which makes it look like a regular serial device on all three operating
systems. We did this so that we could use existing standard operating
system drivers to talk to the device and not have to do anything fancy.

I wouldn't worry too much about that file; it's not doing anything
unusual, it just hooks serial devices up to Java code.

Let us know what kind of machine you've got, then we can provide some 
suggestions.
